ABOUT THE SESSION
AI in engineering and project delivery has largely focused on point solutions: optimizing design, scheduling or cost in isolation. The next shift is connecting these capabilities into an integrated lifecycle system where data, AI models and workflows operate as a unified whole.
In this session, Summer Husband introduces a “decision layer” approach to delivering AI solutions across the lifecycle of a project to guide execution in real time. She also explores the critical role of combining AI technical capability with deep domain expertise to ensure insights are actionable, trusted and grounded in real project constraints. Through real-world examples, including a data center simulation, attendees see how organizations are moving from fragmented tools to intelligent, adaptive delivery systems that improve speed, predictability and outcomes.
